The last such card in San Jose was UFC on FOX 7 in April of 2013. That card was headlined by a title fight between then-lightweight-champion Benson Henderson and local fan-favorite Gilbert Melendez.

UFC on FOX 7 drew 13,506 people for a gate of $1.333 million in the same venue, although it then operated under the HP Pavilion moniker.

Robbie Lawler got the better of Matt Brown in the UFC on FOX 12 main event, winning the fight by unanimous decision. The victory also earned Lawler a rematch with UFC welterweight champion Johny Hendricks.
